simple question about display info and streaming

I hope to use this firmware hack with an SX260HS or something similar, in order to STREAM RAW VIDEO out of the hdmi port of the camera (or the usb port)with previous point and shoot cameras I've had the frustrating problem where I cannot turn off the display information that is overlaid on top of the video while in camera modeis it possible to turn this off with CHDK? if so, I'd love to use this and write some cool scripts for itany camera recommendations would be wonderful as well! thanks

CHDK cannot directly remove the Canon OSD display. It should be possible to repeatedly replace it with 'transparent' color, which would keep it mostly invisible but probably flicker some.

If you use the PTP extension, than you can choose whether you transfer the viewfinder view, the UI overlay or both.
